One of his biographers said, “His advent into municipal politics was as spectacular as it was sudden.

  • 52 American Jewish Year Book
    52 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES OF JEWS PROMINENT IN THE PROFESSIONS, ETC., IN THE UNITED STATES The Biographical Sketches which follow are a second in- stalment of the series begun in the AMERICAN JEWISH YEAE BOOK for 5664. The Sketches there published were of Rabbis and Cantors officially connected with congregations in the United States. On pp. 214-225, will be found additions to the list of last year, designed to keep it up to date. It is intended to complete the series of Biographical Sketches in the AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK for 5666, in which an attempt will be made to present the biographical data of the men and women who are doing the communal work for the Jews of the United States. The present instalment does not deal with so unified a set of personages as the first dealt with and as the third is de- signed to deal with. It aims to bring together the names and biographical data of the Jews in the United States who have won a place in the professions, in the arts, the sciences, in journalism, in business, in public life. Only one class of pro- fessional men and women have been excluded from the present instalment, namely, those who have trained themselves to preside over Jewish charitable institutions; the superin- tendents and directors of the charities, the superintendents of orphan asylums and kindred institutions, the probation officers, the social settlement workers, etc. Their vocation is so closely allied to the activities that will constitute the ground for inclusion in the next instalment of sketchea BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES 53 that it seemed proper to associate them with the communal workers whose leaders and guides they are.

The printing of this volume was commenced in 1845, and has necessarily progressed slowly, in consequence of the dif- ficulties and dela}'s in obtaining authentic materials, occasion- ed often by the tardiness of correspondents and the indifference of those who should have been interested in the matter. The author takes pleasure in commending it to those for whom it is especially designed—the Kilboubn Family of America.
